Jalua nodded quietly, not speaking for a moment before continuing. "There is one thing what frightens me" she began, "He hasn't made contact with anyone here. His obviously spoken to you, but not us". Jalua was unaware that Tarion had actually made contact with the Mandalorians too, but Dan would have known this, to leave out the Coalition meant something was happening.

Dan shrugged. "I'm sorry, I didn't ask him his agenda. I have no idea what his motives are." He looked down for a second before looking back up. "I have something I wanted to talk about also." He stopped for a second again before starting up. "When we were about to rescue you, right before we boarded your shuttle, your sister stopped me and told me something... She, uh, said, uh, that, uh, you were... Pregnant?"

Jalua froze for a moment, unsure of what to say. Her head was full of thoughts but none of them on what to tell Dan. "I err..." she paused again. She breathed in a couple of times, connecting deeply into the force again to calm herself down. "I have been meaning to talk to you about that. There is a bit of a problem". Jalua still wasn't sure what was the best approach to take, but she would no doubt need to say it now. "I am, but I've also been given something. While I was in... you know, I was given a virus. I didn't know what it was at the time, i... i thought it might be a weakener, to stop me from resisting". She became out of breathe and had to calm herself down, breathing in slow and deep. "I think I know what it is. I think I've got what John had. It's not contagious" she almost shouted at the end, not wanting to worry Dan, but still knew that this would be important news. "I've had blood taken and it seems like it is, I should see it develop in a few days time and then I will know for certain. There is no cure though, at least, not that we know of".

Dan froze, remembering what the assassin had told him during the interogation. "By the force... I know what you're talking about, evidently it was running through the Black Guard like wildfire... You have that? And just for the record, who's child is it?" Dan stopped. "Sorry, that sounded rude. Of course I'll help you, no matter whose it is, but I'd still like to know."

Jalua was quicker with this one, not so scared any more. Strange for a Jedi Knight to be scared she thought, but it was still there. "It's yours" she said, knowing that it would please Dan to know it was at least his. "I'll fight it off with everything i have, but I'm not sure how bad it will be. I know how bad it affected John, and since he hasn't been seen for over a month..." she didn't need to answer that question, although John could have just been too ill to appear publicly or to anyone outside his empire. Even though she had those brighter thoughts, she still did not like the idea of living inside a suit.

Dan nodded. "But you have something he doesn't. You have the Force. I still don't know just how powerful it is, but it's come through for you before it seems." He sighed. "Well, either way, we should pray for the best, plan for the worst. All we really can do now."

"How powerful is the force? Good question" she said thoughtfully, "It can do everything from healing wounds, creating creatures, controlling fate to destroying star systems. Yet somehow, we are able to control it, at least to some degree. I have faith in it though, I won't give up the fight and I know it won't either". Jalua had calmed a lot after being in such isolation, she no longer had the need to hate her enemies. Her enlightenment came at an added bonus, she felt herself growing in power, her senses were almost overloaded, but somehow she could maintain control. It was like, she thought, Being carried by the wind. No matter where you want to go, you will get taken with the wind. If you work with the wind however, then great possibilities open up around you. Jalua was about to speak again when Lieutenant Markus stood up from behind his desk. "Jalua" he began informally, his voice was still showing the urgency he felt. "Admiral Price says his found the list". Jalua suddenly ran over with joy to the desk. "Send it through to me" she said, shortly afterwards hearing her datapad bleep. Plugging the device into a wall terminal showed the list of names, included in it was the names of Jalua, Dan, the former head of security at Cloud City, John Hammond, a senator at the space station destroyed over Coruscant and thousands of others. "Dan, take a look at these names, does any of these mean anything to you? I can't see a pattern".

He scanned down the list, noting his own name, Jaluas, and his former security head's. "It looks like a hitlist to me. My security head is dead, so is that senator, and now John it seems." He stroked his beard that was growing from a lack of a shave for the last few days. "It also seems that me and you are the big targets on this. Congrats, we made A-List." he joked. "What is this list from, and whose was it, and where did you get it?" he asked.

Jalua chuckled slightly at his comment. "Well we was looking for this list for months, it is what the Black Guard was using. Originally they were set up by me, but over time they slowly got more distant until all of this happened. That raid over Gyndine probably has something to do with this list, so now we can start tracing up these people and see what connections they have. Nubai obviously found something, enough for him to go on a crusade across the galaxy. Unless we find him, I'm guessing that they will continue to hunt down these people. Problem is, most of these must be in positions of power across the galaxy, which means that it will be hard to protect them. I'll send this to the MCAV and see what their team makes of it. What is important now is following the clues about Nubai's disappearance, we've had a couple of people talk about Hutt Space. In three days time there shall be a reformation of the Navy, so we could attempt an operation there, although it would be risky".

Dan frowned. "It seems that you are taking too much at once. Why don't I handle the operation in Hutt space? With the deescalation of the situation with the Imperials, I should be able to send a fleet or two to the region. If you send some personnel to lead the op, we should be able to find out what you need, and you can focus on the Coalitions situation with the Imperials."

"Erm" muttered the Lieutenant loudly. Jalua turned to look at him, who was staring at his own terminal. "MCAV says they have picked up something just outside Commenor, they are coordinating ships to trace the signal back to it's source". Jalua stood there for a moment, thinking about it. "Why have they decided to send that information here? Surely they could handle it without me knowing?" she asked quizzically, confused by the message. "Requesting..." he said, staring at his terminal for signs of activity. A few moments later, he got something back. "Something about Operation Voxyn's Claw they say. It will take a while to decipher but they believe Sarapin, Humbarine, Commenor and Nubia was mentioned. They are changing the report schedules for all military bases now to notify us on activity in their regions". Jalua looked at Dan and shook her head. "I've got a better idea. Let's go and poke the Imperials with a stick and see if they chew".

"Oh boy..." muttered Dan. "This isn't going to end well... This better be one hell of a stick."

Jalua nodded and shut down the terminal, heading past the main entrance to the pool, accompanied by its own waterfall at the end. With the marble flooring and natural light flowing into the building. She didn't actually enter the pool, just sat with her legs in the water. With a look at Dan and a scheming laugh, she altered the water with the force. A wave seemingly from nowhere splashed against Dan, making Jalua fall over onto the marble laughing hysterically.

Dan sputtered and spit the water out of his mouth. He looked down at his soaked self, and then at the laughing Jalua, and any traces of anger that may have been brewing instantly vanished. Going over and sitting beside her, he muttered "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up." He was glad to see that Jalua was finally happy again after everything that had happened over the last few weeks.

"So anyway" she said in a curious tone, much happier now. "How did you meet my sister?" she asked, purposefully trying to get information out of him. She knew they had both helped rescue her, but why they were connected together in the operation was unknown to her.
